Participants to represent Addis Abeba in the dialogue to be held at the national level have also been selected. This comes amid growing calls for the inclusion of key stakeholders including armed groups that are engaged in militarized conflict with the government into the national dialogue process. The Ethiopian Political Parties Joint Council forewarned that the dialogue may fail to produce results without the participation of all parties including armed groups, Sheger radio reported. Earlier, the Caucus of Opposition Parties, an umbrella group of eleven opposition parties in Ethiopia, accused the NDC of failing to fulfill its stated purpose of facilitating an “inclusive” national dialogue.
